Yeah, I’ve been raging about this for over 24 hours and I’m still not over it. This will be by SciFi version of How I Met Your Mother So She Could Give Me Kids Because Aunt Robin Was Barren But She’s My One True Love So Gives A Fuck About Tracy, Right? And I’m still not over how much Dawson’s Creek shit on Jen,…

The flail started the second they brought Katrina back from purgatory. It’s been a never ending parade of WOMP WOMP and rage fits ever since. Such a shame, because season one is SO DAMN GOOD.

I think a huge problem is that they didn’t really develop Abbie’s family life (specifically her past) the way they should have. And I thought they messed Orlando Jones’ character too, who I really liked.

EVERYTHING! This is everything! Thank you so much for putting my very thoughts into words. :)

Ooh, start that list with Tara from True Blood.

Well, you’re definitely right about John Noble. They really need a new Emmy category: Most Valient Effort by an Actor in a WTF Plot. Noble would win it hands down.

As much as that trope sucks, godammit it would have been a million times worst had someone who didn’t have the acting skills of John Noble try to make it work, which he did an admirable job

Not to mention that they literally had her last line be something like “My job was just to get you this far.” Whaaaat??? Way to spell it out, assholes.

I agree! I would have less of problem with this if they hadn’t sidelined her character to the point of the actress wanting out. This isn’t Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anantomy who just felt like doing something different. The creators/writers did some serious mistakes in season 2 and continued to do them when fans…

Magical Child + Damsel Wife= stupidity oozing out of the eyes.

I feel like as soon as you make a show about avoiding the Christian version of the apocalypse you’ve basically shot your concept in the dick. It’s a wall that writers seldom have what it takes to break down and it kills a lot of the fun you get to have once you hit hell level. The Horseman was a good enough villain on…

I am unable to quit shows when I should. I’m so clueless that I thought it was getting better this season, then they pulled this biz. Help.

You know, if I see one more person say “What were they supposed to do, she wanted out” without even fucking acknowledging the reason it got to that point, I’m go to Hulk out.

That was literally the plot of the middle third of Prophecy Girl. Buffy killed it titular character 12 episodes in and at least two more times.

I think Sleepy Hollow started flailing way back when they brought in the Magical Child Trope. Why do writers do that? It almost never ends well and Jeremy/Henry is a textbook example of just how bad the Magical Child Trope can go.

This is important because the writers made a black woman feel expendable in her own damn show! We get disrespected so bad and all people tell us is to wait our turn! We have so few black leads out there and they killed one of our darlings!

I guess what you’re missing is why she wanted off the show in the first place.
